Pig Island Private Longtail Boat Trip From Koh Samui

Graham_W, May 2026

Great trip

Very easy to book and clear instructions on where to go. Much cheaper than hotel options and we were first on the island so had time before the crowds arrived and our boat driver was polite and helpful and happy to help with a good a snorkelling spot, did not rush us to leave. Definitely worth booking over other providers that are a lot more expensive.

Koh Madsum

I had an easy, peaceful private boat to Koh Madsum, where there are pigs and dogs galore. The captain was kind and waited for me to be finished, he took me to a snorkeling spot and took me back to the pier when I asked.

Who absolutely loves snorkeling...

If you want to snorkel, you should inform yourself beforehand if the weather conditions leave this too, otherwise man/woman could be disappointed! Big praise to the women who prepared the lunch buffet - super fine😃 thank you

Great trip to pig island

This trip was amazing! Being in our own group definitely was a plus. We were able to get out to the island before it got busy, and chose when we left. The pigs seem healthy and well taken care of! There were also puppies which was a bonus. The snorkeling was fun as well, the water wasn’t super clear but you could see about four feet which was enough to see the coral and some fish. Overall I would recommend this trip.

Pig island is one of...

Pig island is one of those you feel you have to see even if it is very touristy. I’m glad we did it but my children actually enjoyed the snorkelling more than the pigs. The island is very dirty and smelly which is a shame as there is no need for such much litter. The interaction with the pigs was good though and better than I was expecting, even though there are so many people about - I wish a few less trips went at same time but all in all a good trip - the timings were good. 2 hours on the island and an hour (or less if you prefer) snorkelling was perfect. My only real disappointment was the miscommunication with the tour guide I was contacted months before by the tour company with a pick up time but I then forgot this and couldn’t locate message anywhere and all other emails reminders that were sent the days before and even on the same day including tickets confirmed a different pick up time so this meant I was not ready when the bus arrived which was really annoying as we skipped lunch and didn’t remember all our stuff. Viator need to not confirm times of local guide different and the local guide should’ve sent another reminder in the weeks or days before trip.
